Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong向偷走客户数据的黑客提供了2000万美元的赏金

一家加密货币公司的首席执行官对黑客提出了一个有趣的回应，要求对比特币进行了2000万美元的要求。

The CEO of crypto giant Coinbase has issued an interesting response to hackers who demanded $20 million in Bitcoins.

加密巨头Coinbase的首席执行官对要求拥有2000万美元比特币的黑客发表了有趣的回应。

Coinbase confirmed this week that cyberpunks managed to steal its customer data, as well as government-issued identity documents, according to TechCrunch.

Coinbase本周证实，Cyber​​punks设法窃取了其客户数据以及政府发行的身份文件。

As per is legally-required filing with US regulators, the company claimed a hacker told Coinbase it had obtained customer account information - and demanded a hefty sum of $20 million in Bitcoin in exchange for not publishing the stolen information.

根据该公司向美国监管机构提交法律要求的文件，该公司声称一名黑客告诉Coinbase，它已经获得了客户帐户信息 - 并要求拥有2000万美元的比特币，以换取不发布被盗信息的款项。

Now, it's billionaire CEO Brian Armstrong has issued a public message of defiance in response to the purported 'bribery' and 'ransom note,' with a hefty monetary offer to anyone who can help out.

现在，亿万富翁的首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）发表了公开反对的信息，以回应所谓的“贿赂”和“赎金票据”，并向任何可以提供帮助的人提供了大量的货币报价。

“We’d like to do things transparently here at Coinbase, and so I’m going to respond to these attackers.

“我们想在Coinbase透明地做事，因此我将回应这些攻击者。

“We are not going to pay your ransom. In fact, I have a few next steps in mind.”

“我们不会支付您的赎金。实际上，我要记住下一步。”

Explaining what happened, Armstong said Coinbase conducted an investigation and found the attackers had been approaching its employees, overseas customer support agents, 'looking for a weak link' and someone who would 'accept a bribe.'

Armstong说，Coinbase在解释发生了什么事，进行了调查，发现攻击者一直在接近其雇员，海外客户支持代理商，“寻找薄弱环节”，并且有人会“接受贿赂”。

The 42-year-old continued that the staff had limited access to customer information, adding: “There was no passwords or private keys or funds access as part of this, but customer support agents do have access to personal information, like name, date of birth, address, et cetera.

这位42岁的年轻人继续说，员工对客户信息的访问有限，并补充说：“没有密码，私钥或资金访问权限，但客户支持代理人确实可以访问个人信息，例如姓名，出生日期，地址等。

“And attackers still want access to this information because it allows them to social engineering attacks where they can call our customers, impersonating Coinbase customer support and try to trick them into sending their funds to the attacker.”

“而且攻击者仍然需要访问此信息，因为它使他们能够在可以打电话给我们的客户的社会工程攻击中，冒充Coinbase客户的支持，并试图欺骗他们将资金发送给攻击者。”

Unfortunately, Armstrong continued, the cyber criminals did find 'a few bad apples' in the company, but reassured customers that Coinbase’s systems are designed to 'mitigate' against such attacks.

不幸的是，阿姆斯特朗继续说，网络罪犯确实在公司中发现了“一些坏苹果”，但是向客户保证，Coinbase的系统旨在“减轻”此类攻击。

He said less than one percent of its monthly transacting users have been affected.

他说，不到每月交易用户中只有不到百分之一受到影响。

“But this is still unacceptable,” he continued as he laid out his plan to tackle the situation.

“但这仍然是不可接受的，”他制定了解决局势的计划时继续说道。

First, he said affected customers will be reimbursed and contacted, while the company makes moves to 'harden' its systems and relocate some of its operations.

首先，他说，受影响的客户将得到报销和联系，而该公司则采取行动“硬化”其系统并搬迁其某些运营。

Finally, Armstrong revealed Coinbase’s unusual offer.

最后，阿姆斯特朗透露了Coinbase的不寻常报价。

“Instead of paying this $20 million ransom, we’re turning it around. We’re putting out a $20 million reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of these attackers.”

“我们没有支付这笔2000万美元的赎金，而是我们将其拒之门外。我们为导致逮捕和定罪的任何信息提供了2000万美元的奖励。”

Reminiscent of Liam Neeson’s iconic line in Taken, he concluded: “For these would-be extortionists, or anyone seeking to harm Coinbase customers, know that we will prosecute and bring you to justice.”

他总结说，让人想起利亚姆·尼森（Liam Neeson）的标志性线条：“对于这些可能的勒索主义者，或任何试图伤害Coinbase客户的人，都知道我们将起诉并将您带到绳子上。”

According to the tech outlet, staff involved in the breach have been let go from the company.

根据技术渠道的说法，涉及违规行为的员工已被公司释放。

In another statement on Twitter, Coinbase said cyber criminals 'bribed and recruited rogue overseas support agents' to pull the data, adding: "No passwords, private keys, or funds were exposed. Prime accounts are untouched. We will reimburse impacted customers."

Coinbase在Twitter上的另一份声明中说，网络罪犯贿赂并招募了流氓海外支持代理商”来提取数据，并补充说：“没有密码，私钥或资金遭​​到曝光。未触及主要帐户。我们将偿还受影响的客户。”
